    This place is very overrated. the restaurant looks nice and has a nice view but the food is severely overpriced and had no flavor. I ordered the chorizo and shrimp empanadas and all i tasted was cheese and no flavor. the we also ordered the blood orange margarita pitcher and it was not communicated that to add the blood orange flavor it was an extra $15 on top of the $75 that was being charged so $90 for a margarita pitcher. the server seemed like he could barely be bothered to communicate with us I could barely hear anything he was saying. Overall I would say this is a nice place to sit and chat and maybe have some water but as far as food you could have went downstairs to chipotle for better food and a better price.

    This was a catch up dinner with my nephew and we had a really nice time. I ate a meat dish and he had a vegan dish that included jackfruit. We were grateful for the delish meal options. Oh and the strawberry margarita was outstanding! Give them a try.

    We made a reservation for 6:30 and was not seated until right before 7. When we sat down we immediately placed our order for food and drinks. The sever seemed either on autopilot or upset to be at work. They brought us the wrong drinks and then no drinks at all. The food came quick enough and the Birria tacos were amazing. The server did not check back in on us until we finished eating. I asked about the drinks and they eventually brought them over and they were disappointing. My wife’s spicy pineapple margarita did not taste like pineapple at all and to quote her may have been something poured off the remains of the bar mat. I’m not sure what happened but I feel this restaurant used to be really good. We were pretty disappointed as it was our 17 wedding anniversary.

    Our waiter never introduced himself to our table. We had to ask for drink refills and a side dish that was ordered with the meal came out after we had finished eating so it was sent back!! Food was delicious but I was disappointed that the creamy poblano rice was late to the table!!

    Hosts were pretty unaccomodating and tried to turn me away at first even though I was within the grace period. My server was great but hosts really soured the experience. Seating outside was okay after we got moved away from the cluttered storage and sidewalk. Food tasted kind of bland. Drinks were overpriced and not worth it at all. Not sure what happened to this place I used to really enjoy it.

    Waited about 15 minutes with reservations but the servers were great and the views from balcony seats were amazing. Took a while for the food to arrive but understandable since it was super busy. Must get here is the guacamole made in mortar and pestle - Guacamole en Molcajete. The chipotle chicken empanadas were alright but the mushroom enchiladas were amazing! The new cherry blossom margarita was amazing as well.

    It was recommended on Tik-Tok as a good place to eat. It was ok, nothing to write home about. The portions were small. The service was adequate, not great. After eating my meal, waited sometime to get my check. They should have the kiosk on the table to checkout for the customer experience.

    Extremely disappointed in Rosa! They did absolutely nothing to accommodate our family and other friends who had reservations at 7pm! We even went in together earlier in the day, when they told us they would! In fact the manager was nothing but rude! I also had put in my request to eat outside and it was never even addressed then I was told they could not make it happen! For the price, the food was terrible! My daughter’s order was wrong and we had to wait additional time for them to make it! We constantly had to request for refills in water bc our server was never around to check in!
